These are the EXACT same steps I used to go from $0 to over $1,000,000 in online course sales in less than 24 months (and used by over 2,500+ of my students)

Today on The Rise To The Top: The #1 Show For Mediapreneurs: Pat Flynn from Smart Passive Income is in the house talking blogging, podcasting and his super unique site where he actually discloses his income every month. How about that for transparency?

I use RISE partner Wistia for video hosting because they rock. Check ’em out.

More About Pat:

I’m super excited to track down Pat today. Not only does he have a great personal story, but he is incredible about sharing what he has learned and has become a real dominant blogger with a ridiculously passionate community. We could all learn a thing or 30 from Pat.

Pat Flynn is the single owner of The Smart Passive Income Blog, a blog that he created to share his success with online business after being laid off in 2008. Since then, The Smart Passive Income Blog has dramatically grown in popularity for several reasons, including an extremely successful YouTube channel with nearly 1 million video views, a successful Podcast which was at one point ranked the #3 overall business podcast in iTunes right behind Dave Ramsey and The Wall Street Journal, and a very honest and transparent, no-hype approach to everything he does online.

As always great interview. I was super busy this morning but something told me to take time to watch this Interview and as always great information.
Your timing was perfect.
Universe always sends us just what we need. We just need to keep the ears and eyes open.
Have a great day..debbie

Awesome to see Pat on the show. I was so pumped to meet Pat in person where he gave an awesome presentation at the Financial Blogger Conference. Pat is just as “real” and down to earth in person as he is on his blog – a true class act.

David! After I purchased CAOC I implemented everything I learned and had a $3,000 launch which was life changing. As uber excited as I was about that I soon scaled up to an $84,000 launch. Since then I’ve practiced the same CAOC system every time and now have six figure launches (just closed on a $614,000 launch!). How is that even possible?!?
